Calgary man, accused associate of alleged Canadian drug lord appears in court
A two-day bail hearing has been scheduled for a Calgary man accused of helping alleged Canadian drug lord Ryan Wedding arrange the murder of an FBI informant.
Allistair Chapman, 33, and nine others were arrested last year in an FBI investigation into the international drug trafficking organization allegedly run by Wedding.
A lawyer appeared in a Calgary courtroom on Chapman’s behalf on Friday.
He confirmed that Chapman, who is also a former player in the Alberta Junior Hockey League, is still in custody.
The judge set a bail hearing for Feb. 4 and 5 and ordered that Chapman appear in court in person at that time.
